It was just the other day that one of the readers was asking me about left handed ukulele’s – and I have to admit, they’re not the easiest of things to find! Luckily Ibanez are about to launch a new left handed model (and it has a super memorable name) – say hello to the UEW20LSME! Okay, so I was being sarcastic about the name…

Again, this has only been spotted in the 2013 Ibanez Europe catalogue, so at the moment it is only confirmed for the European market.

Ibanez UEW20LSME Left Handed Ukulele

Cutaway Concert Style EW body

Spalted Maple body

Mahogany neck

Rosewood bridge and fretboard

Gold Grover® Open Gear tuners

Abalone rosette

Ibanez Under Saddle pickup

Ibanez UK300T preamp

Aquila® NYLGUT® strings

UPDATE 2016: This model has now been discontinued. Please check out our Lefty Ukulele Guide for some great alternatives.

Not sure if it was done on purpose or what, but when you look at the name quickly, it looks like it says AWESOME lol.

FYI, used these are usually around $150 to $180. brand new, you can get them low at around $300 and high at around $415. Believe me. I searched around a LOT. At one point I had like 58 tabs open on Chrome for the left handed option.
